Rules:
Civility: Encourage yourself and others to maintain a positive attitude, honor the work of others, avoid defensiveness, be open to legitimate critique and challenge oppressive behaviors in ways that help people grow.
Bigotry: Racism, sexism, ageism, bigotry, violence, derogatory language, and hate speech will not be tolerated. Ableism is the disparaging of people by their mental or physical capabilities, and that includes emotional disorders.
Distruptiveness/Spam: This community is not a place where it's acceptable to purposely enrage, clutter, or disrupt the people around you for your own amusement. Any user who comes to /r/DemSocialists to be repetitively disagreeable, as well as any user that disrupts the normal operation of the community, will be subject to this rule. You can disagree, but you cannot only disagree.
New Accounts: Accounts that are very new (less than a week old) or have a very small post/comment history will be subject to greater scrutiny and may have posts/comments removed if they come close to breaking the rules or promote a negative community atmosphere.
What is the DSA?
DSA believes that the fight for democratic socialism is one and the same as the fight for radical democracy, which we understand as the freedom of all people to determine all aspects of their lives to the greatest extent possible. Our vision entails nothing less than the radical democratization of all areas of life, not least of which is the economy.
Under democratic socialism, this authoritarian system would be replaced with economic democracy. This simply means that democracy would be expanded beyond the election of political officials to include the democratic direction of all businesses by the workers who comprise them and by the communities in which they operate.
Economic democracy would be complemented in the political sphere by a new system that combines an overhauled form of representative democracy (our current system) with direct democracy, a system in which individuals participate directly in the making of political decisions that affect them.

3 minute action! Tell Biden and Congress: Send Humanitarian Aid and End Trump’s War on Cuba
Hello friends,
Cuba is in crisis. It's time for Biden to #SendAndEnd!
The island has been hit by two hurricanes, major earthquakes, and an energy shortage— a climate and humanitarian crisis all compounded by Trump-era sanctions and Cuba's designation on the State Sponsors of Terror list that blocks access to essential resources like trade, remittances, and financial support. Millions are suffering. U.S. sanctions are worsening Cuba’s hardship, cutting off critical resources needed for recovery and resilience. With Trump set to return to office in 2025, there is a limited window for President Biden to act before these policies become even more entrenched.
Use this tool to urge President Biden and Congress to Send humanitarian aid to Cuba and End restrictive sanctions. Together, we can support the Cuban people in rebuilding and strengthening their future.
Take Action:
- Send a Letter: Use our tool to write to President Biden, VP Harris, and Congress.
- Share on Social Media: Amplify this campaign with our Social Media Toolkit for sample posts and graphics.
- Get Involved: Join DSA’s Cuba Solidarity campaign

Democratic Socialism vs Venezuelan Socialism?
My dad (who is ultra right wing and ultra capitalist) constantly brings up Venezuela whenever I bring up Democratic Socialism and modelling ourselves like the nordic nations. I believe what Venezuela has and what the nordic nations have are not the same but I don't know enough to go very in depth bout it. What would be a great breakdown of the similarities and the differences? I'm just sick of him constantly bringing it up.

I’m not a dem socialist but…
Do you think extremist(there is a better word but decided to use this maybe polar political perspectives) words are misused like fascist or communist, and do you think these words can cause unnecessary worry or divide in a country growing further apart(USA)?

Monetary Policy
There is a lot of discussion regarding the rich stealing from the poor. I agree. There is little articulation of how this happens other than suppressed wages and shady tax cuts.
Has anyone inspected the monetary policy (since August 1971) and how that correlates to the wealthy getting more wealthy and the poor becoming poorer? Monetary policy is working under the surface and is contributing, or forcing, those with less to have even less.
The house is tilted, not just the board game.
